Ten Years Ago
WAGGONER CARR FACING SENATOR TOWER
Texas Attorney General Waggoner Carr is challenging John
Tower, Republican from Wichita Falls, for reelection to his seat
in the U S. Senate, and the Carr-Tower race is described as the
only one drawing strong local interest for the Nov. 8th general
election. Tower first was elected to the Senate in a 1901 special
election following Lyndon Johnson's resignation to become Vice
President, while Carr is completing four years as attorney
general following a 10-year career in the Texas Legislature
including four as Speaker of the House.
CONFUSION IN DISTRICT 28-AA
Local fans of high school football are puzzled at the muddled
situation in District 28-AA. Problems began when the Bishop
Badgers were forced to forfeit five games, including two district
wins, for using an ineligible player. Then the situation was further
complicated when the 28-AA executive committee heard charges
regarding other ‘earns, and the result was forfeits by Aransas
Pass, Ingleside, Calallen and Taft All the forfeits left Tuloso -
Midway and Aransas County atop the district standings though
both teams have lost to Bishop.
MAY ALLEN GRIDDERS SPLIT PAIR
May Allen Junior High’s eighth grade football team defeated
Calallen 12-6 last Thursday, but their seventh grade counterparts
lost 20-6. Mario Flores, Herman Crothers and Mike Flagg led the
eighth graders to their win, while Daniel McCoy and Bobby
Bonorden were cited as seventh grade standouts.
AMATEUR HOURS WINNERS AT CARNIVAL
Mark Ray was first place winner in the Amateur Hour held at
Saturday’s Halloween Carnival sponsored by the PTA. Jenelle
Storms placed second in the junior and senior high division, while
Debra Wilke ranked third. Winners in the elementary school
division included Chris Rodrique, first place; David Van Leeuwen
and Jimmy O’Farrell, second place. Third place went to a group
of second graders who sang and danced.
TO THE
non
In Mrs. Sami Louise Shirley’s
letter of Oct. 20, she stated that
‘‘when government spending
for defense rises, the American
economy is definitely stimu-
lated" That seems to be true,
but isn't it a sad truth?
It is hard for individuals,
most certainly for nations, to
love our enemies, as Jesus, the
greatest Teacher of all time.
-
would have us do Speaking for
myself, I cannot see our
world yet without police
protection -- for individuals and
for large political units. But
our greatest strength lies in the
people themselves.
Practically speaking, mili-
tary equipment is often obsolete
before it is paid for Also, isn’t
overkill for the whole planet
\
enough’’ Wouldn't you like to
see money go for more
constructive employment than
is the making of military hard
ware’’
This letter is not intended to
be politically slanted In my
opinion, both Carter and Ford
are good men, dedicated to
serving our country; also they
have their human weaknesses,
like the rest of us.
May I add that I agree with
Mrs. Shirley that one way to be
patriotic is to go to the polls and
vote.

Saunders Street
Ditch Project
Being Planned
Preliminary engineering
plans are now being developed
for drainage improvements to
the Saunders Street ditch
between Greenwood and De-
Berry Avenues
The improvements will pro-
bably include development of a
parkway, much similar to the
Louisiana Drive parkway in
Corpus Christi.
Aransas Pass city manager
states that the city has already
contacted the San Patricio
Drainage District with the
hopes it will designate the
Saunders Street project as one
of the projects for this fiscal
year
The first step in the project
would be to line the ditch with
concrete. The entire project
could take several years.
This is an important improve-
ment to undertake because the
water from Avenue A and
Highway 35 is drained toward
the Saunders' ditch and
ultimately drains into the new
DeBerry Avenue storm drain-
age
The city council has re-
quested preliminary engineer-
ing plans and cost estimates in
order for it to consider final
improvement plans for the
project.
